![]() Local, regional and national sports news Windy ways El Médano’s kitesurfing date Despite financial concerns, El Médano is confident it will be able to stage a major world kitesurf championship event in the resort this summer. 16.02.2010 - Once an ever-present on the circuit, the popular windy beach is trying hard to re-establish its position among the leading international kitesurf venues and is making an all-out effort to attract big names for the week pencilled in for August. The local council is so convinced El Médano will be staging a world tour event that it made kitesurf the mainstay of its tourism campaign at the recent FITUR holiday fair in Madrid. Several top riders have signed up already and with 250 ranking points at stake it is certain that most of the world’s top names will turn up. Although full commitments have yet to be confirmed by all major sponsors, the event has been included in the calendar of the Professional Kiteboard Riders Association (PKRA).
